Trauma, Jews, and gender – how they are transmitted, imagined, and reconceived: response to Judith Alpert and Jill Salberg

ABSTRACT

How is trauma transmitted and experienced within the intimate relationships of a family? The chapters by Jill Salberg and Judie Alpert base themselves on the authors’ reflections on the traumas experienced within their families, and ask how women’s bodies, in particular, encapsulate traumatic experience.
